KNOX ROXS is a publication that is advocating acceptance for the beauty of nuerodiversity and breaking the stigma of racialized Autism through documentation and text that follows one very special boy; Knox, A 5-year old black Autistic child.

Autism is a beautifully complex cognitive, invisible disability that we are honored to represent in this book. Jennifer White-Johnson, mother to Knox, has made it her creative passion to dive into the complexities of Knox’s neurodiversity. Often the neurodiverse community is excluded from artistic narratives and creative spaces, we are excited to embrace this groups complexities as we continue to embrace our own. This project comes together with her own personal art practice of photography that she uses as a means to allow herself to not be afraid to let the world in and allow for her son’s story to become a force for healing.

An Autistic person should not be limited by popular opinion of how they should operate, or be limited by the ideas others have regarding their abilities. Autistic voices should be included and not excluded in any public discourse on Autism. Advocate acceptance!

Sammys is a project that comes together at the interesction of food and identity. We have been investigating, creating, and documenting the sandwich intake of a variety of individuals. We have involved people with drastic backgrounds, careers, and identities. The purpose of this project is to show a parallel representation of who we are by what we eat.

In this chaotic climate, we may be led to think the world is divided, that rifts between people and cultures cannot be bridged. They want us to think we are split apart by everything that surrounds us. Yet, food is, and has always been, a vehicle to unite people, to overcome differences and share cultures and customs. We hope, with this project, to intersect identities that may seemingly, have nothing in common if not for a favorite sandwich. In doing this we highlight the nuances and complex identities through the simplicity found in the layers in between two slices of bread.

Studies of Jahyne is an interdisciplinary exploration of the essence of femininity and it’s relationship to the female body through the means of garment making and photography.

The point of departure for the project is derived from the name Jahyne (Jane, Jayne, Jane Doe) as it represents the muse; a name given to correlate one to gender or sex in the same way that femininity connects to the female body.

The work consists of a series of portraits in which an individual interacts with handmade, naturally and artificially dyed scarves. The scarf serves as a physical symbol of femininity; each individual is given the power to place the scarf in a manner that represented their relationship to femininity.

Femme Frontera is a journey into the physical borderlands of CA/MEX and TX/MEX through parallel story telling, by Arlene Mejorado and Adriana Monsalve. They are exploring fronteras (borders), both literal and figurative, and the many ways they manifest in the immigrants experience: past, present, and future. They are telling stories through personal narratives and connecting them to each others and to their environments and surroundings. This is how to have a conversation with yourself about what makes you uncomfortable and what brings you comfort. By teaching each other to explore, photograph, and present the realities in our neighborhoods, we enable ourselves to take control of our stories. Where we point our camera, and how we use them, makes a difference in the publics perception of the immigrant experience. This project was funded by the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures and is part of the Master Artist Grant for 2017; where a mentorship took place that created a space for growth, challenge and collaborative work between the emerging artist, Arlene Mejorado, and the master artist, Adriana Monsalve.
